increases the intervertebral disc height (C) to remove anular tension on the anular fibers (E) and nerve (B) by making more room for, among other tissues, the spinal cord (F) and improving circulation;

allows the nucleus pulposus (A) -- the center of the disc -- to assume its central position within the anular fibers (E) and relieves irritation of the spinal nerve (B);

restores vertebral joints (D) to their physiological relationships of motion;

improves posture and locomotion while relieving pain, improving body functions, and creating a state of well-being.

Non-Disc Related Spine Pain Conditions

For patients with other conditions causing back pain (facet syndrome, spondylolisthesis, sprain/strain, scoliosis, transitional vertebra, sacroiliac subluxation, stenosis), Cox Technic provides all of the above benefits plus the ability to place the spinal joints into normal, painless movements so as to restore spinal motion without pain.

The disc is pressing on the nerve. Note that as the disc herniation reduces, the pinched nerve is relieved.

The posterior disc space increases in height.

Flexion decreases disc protrusion and reduces stenosis.

Note: Discs protrude and degenerate into the concavity of a curve, into the side of extension.
